 As a child Philip Yancey attended a toxic church that preached racism,
emphasized law instead of grace and was more passionate about
condemnation than compassion. He became an
admittedly "angry, wounded person" who rejected the church and even
discarded his faith for a season. Eventually, after he encountered
"a world that was quite different than (he) had been taught about; a
world of beauty and goodness" he began to journey back toward God.
In a very real sense, Yancey's books provide an intimate account of his spiritual journey. His books enable readers to explore their questions
about the Christian walk, so
that they might find the strength to continue upon the journey. |

In practice however, prayer is often frustrating, confusing, and fraught with mystery. Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? explores the mysterious intersection where you and God meet and relate. Writing as a fellow pilgrim, Yancey explores the questions surrounding prayer that you may wonder about but not know how to express. Above all, Yancey shows you how to pray to a God who sees what lies ahead of you, knows what lies within you, and who invites you into an eternal partnership with Him---through prayer.
